Body

The introduction of the Chinese Overseas NGO Law on 1 January 2017 requires foreign NGOs like Wellcome to have a representative office in China, or file documentation to carry out temporary activities in order to fund activities in China.

Wellcome does not have a representative office in China and a temporary activity licence would not cover the nature of the activities we fund. Consequently, we are unable to fund activities in China.
